Coach Diego Osella haven’t had the best debut on his return to Colon: the team lost 1-0 at Central Cordoba, which means El Sabalero are on four consecutive defeats in the Superliga. Having earned only 16 points, they occupy the last safe spot in the relegation table. On a positive note, Colon collected all those points at home, where they registered five wins, one draw and three losses. Colon striker Brian Fernandez is expected to make his debut at the club after missing last weekend’s game with personal issues.
Banfield had to settle for a 3-3 home draw against Patronato after conceding the equaliser in the 96th minute. El Taladro collected only 21 points, but they escaped the relegation spots thanks to a positive run: the side haven’t lost any of their last seven league matches (three victories, four draws). In fact, Banfield is unbeaten in their last six away games, winning three and drawing three.
Banfield is coming from a high scoring game where they’ve shown a weak defense, Colon will have the debut of striker Brian Fernandez, so I can expect at least a couple of goals here.
